Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A fluorescent probe, also known as a fluorescent chemical sensor, is a type of "molecular device" that converts information on biological and chemical events into fluorescent signals that can be analyzed.
The activity levels of key biological substances (metal ions, active oxygen, active nitrogen, biological small molecules, etc.) in vivo are closely related to the occurrence and treatment of diseases, as well as the absorption and distribution of drugs. In addition, the intracellular microenvironment and various organelles play important roles in regulating the activity of normal and cancer stem cells.
Defined by its real-time non-invasiveness, fluorescence imaging technology provides a visualization tool for medicine, showing great potential in the fields of molecular biology, cellular immunology, and oncology. In recent years, fluorescent probes have attracted considerable attention in the fields of biological analysis and bioimaging. The improved application of fluorescent probes for analyzing key substances or structures in organisms is of great significance for the early diagnosis of diseases and the assessment of treatment conditions.
This Special Issue aims to comprehensively collect the latest progress in the use of fluorescent probes for biological analysis. Both review articles and original research papers address, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Fluorescent/luminescent probes for sensing or imaging;
- Emerging applications of fluorescent/luminescent materials;
- Fluorescence/colorimetric analysis;
- Mechanism of biomedical research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
